The Bottom-Feeder's Tale

Meet Paul and Cheryl, star-crossed lovers from opposite sides of the tracks, coupling like train cars in the night while on a collision-course with little Anthony and his even-littler Mee-maw. Meet them quickly, for nothing good is about to befall them...

But family matters take precendence over affairs of the heart.

When the 'man of the house' meets the 'girl next door' and offers to have her for dinner, that's not what she thought he meant!

It's the classic problem: who has to die, so that another might live?

NOTHING EVER GETS ANY BETTER

It's about the demon that gets in under your skin... No!

It's about Anthony and Mimi and all their problems, including the fact that they eat people... No!

It's about Paul and Cheryl, a couple of ne'er-do-wells who, to their great misfortune, move in next door to a bloodthirsty cult where cannibalism isn't the worst thing you can do to a body... No!

It's about piling one thing on top of another until you've built a ziggurat so convoluted and massive that its weight crushes down upon you like a mountain and becomes your entire world, full to dangerous overflowing with alarmist word-salad, faces seen in clouds, and the end of a molehill that was your everything... No!

It's about the simplest, most-basic rule of the Universe: the bigger guy eats the littler guy... No!
